The Steampunkfestival is over and we had more than 550 members!

A huge thank you to everyone who came and made the festival amazing, thank you to our interesting, clever and entertaining guests of honour and guests and everyone who participated in the programme, to our gophers and last but not least to the fantastic Sveriges Järnvägsmuseum (Swedish Railway Museum).

Next year’s Swecon will be ConFuse in Linköping, 7-9 August 2015. It’s not a steampunk con, but it will surely be fantastic in other ways.

We will put together a list of links to photo galleries and blog posts about the festival, so feel free to post a link in the comments if you have written about the festival or posted photos from it.

Dead Dog Party

by

Don’t want the fun to be over? There will be a Dead Dog Party after the convention, open to anyone who wants to come. It will be at “CC-Puben” at Centralplan 3, close to the Gävle station.

June 13th is last day for online registration

by

This friday, June 13th, is the last day to register online for a festival membership. Registering online is a good thing:

  • It is cheaper. A membership costs SEK 400 if you register now, but 550 SEK if you pay at the door.
  • Membership is free for those who are younger than 26 old if they register now.

Membership prices at the door will be 550 SEK for the whole festival, or 100 SEK for Friday, 300 SEK for Saturday and 200 SEK for Sunday. (Or 275, 50, 150 och 100 for members who are younger than 26.)

If you want to attend the Steampunk Ball on Saturday night, the last day for buying tickets to the ball is also June 13th.

Do you want to show off your own steampunk costume at the fashion show? Send an e-mail (with “Anmälan till dräktvisningen” as the subject) to varga@steampunkfestival.se with a description of your costume. Sign up before June 13th!

Pay for the Steampunkbal before May 01st

On June 28th, our Steampunkball takes place! And since 2 and 8 are so beautiful numbers, the ticket for the ball costs SEK 280,- if you buy it before May 1st. This includes food, non-alcoholic beverages, dance, music by The Magnificient Seven, a magician, and steampunky atmosphere of course. Doesn’t this sound inviting? Buy your ticket here.
